The weather outside may be frightful, but summer is only a few months away and the 58th annual Progressive Louisville Boat, RV & Sportshow is scheduled for Jan. 27-31.

The annual show at the Kentucky Exposition Center offers recreation enthusiasts a chance to start planning for summertime adventures with hundreds of latest boats, RVs and accessories for outdoor sports on display under one roof.

Available activities at the event will include testing kayaks, canoes or paddleboards. Children 12 and under can fish at the Kid’s Trout Pond.

In addition, the Wake Zone will feature a wakeboard trampoline where riders demonstrate flips, twists and other stunts. Seminars will cover topics such as boating 101, techniques for catching different types of fish and buying an RV.

Attendees can test their abilities on the United States Power Squadrons Boating Skills Virtual Trainor, a simulator that allows users to learn about departing the dock, fairways, pivot turns, moorings crossing and emergency stops.
